Configure Configuration Server in CME

The Configuration Server Application object is preconfigured in the Configuration Database. You need to make the below changes in the Configuration Server Application in CME for Management Layer to control Configuration Server:

Open Configuration Manager aka CME

Create a ‘Host’ object for the computer on which Configuration Server runs

Open the Properties dialog box of the ‘Configuration Server’ Application (named ‘confserv’)

Click the ‘Server Info’ tab

Click Browse to select the Host that you created in Step 2

On the ‘Start Info’ tab, define the ‘Working Directory’ and ‘Command Line’ properties for the primary Configuration Server

Click OK to save the changes.

Can the host be changed while the configuration server is still running seeing that config server gets it startup info from the config file in the installation folder? Our production confserv app in CME still has an old non-existent host and we would like to change the host without any downtime. Can we change the host to the new host without configuration server experiencing an issue?
